Fuck the fuck off, NPR.

@thatkatharine Urgh. What a horrendously shit piece of 'writing' that is. I can only imagine it was barfed out by AI because surely no human could write that badly and be so completely ignorant of what they're supposed to be writing about, could they??.. 🤔

@thatkatharine @invadersil amazing how the media will valorize (e.g.) athletes' strict diets and training regimens, but wearing a mask is somehow an "extreme measure"

@aparrish @thatkatharine Exactly. Training 24/7 for years and years but wearing a mask for a week? THE HORRORS!!!

@thatkatharine Christ.
As if the Italians didn't already have a mortifying death toll from spoiled trash who brought COVID into the country after skiing in Austria.
At least they're willing to tell their own about vectors. How's that cone of silence working out for the US?

"If not everyone" is such a liberal way of alienating and minimizing the 10-15% of people who are still taking strict precautions.
Imagine writing an article about a thing and simply not doing any research about that thing.
Like, your editor is like "write an article about these weird athletes who are still masking and taking COVID precautions" and you're like "okay cool" and then you
just like wing it? vibes-based journalism?

@johnzajac @thatkatharine What if they actually wrote a good article and the editor kept wanting it to be altered to fit the narrative that he and his boss want. That of minimizing and ridiculing anything to do with Covid. Would they have put this tripe out had it been a measles outbreak?

@johnzajac @thatkatharine Actually I know what the answer to that is. Yes. If it was Ebola they would still be pushing the “masking is an over reaction to bleeding out of your eyes”

Well, to be fair, we took away "just stand 6 feet away and you'll be fine" when we insisted that intransigent "experts" admit that the evidence was dispositive that many diseases are actually airborne.

@thatkatharine NPR never ceases to be a disappointment since the covid Outbreak.
